Become art! Upgrade your body with a FREE tattoo

Unlimited is looking for a model to be tattooed live at the headline performance event for Manchester Science Festival on 18th October 2018. As part of Unlimited Enhancement Technologies’s festival of human enhancement, “You Have Been Upgraded”, we invite Manchester or North West based sci-art enthusiasts to apply.

One applicant will be selected to receive a free tattoo by Rebecca De Cadorette, a blackwork tattoo artist and former biologist at the University of Manchester with a particular interest in human evolution and futurology. Working out of her Long Time Dead studio in Stretford, Manchester, ‘DC’ uses her backgrounds in research, science and art to design future bodies and ritual tattoo to transform the wearer beyond the ‘normal’. This piece will be fitted to suit the body of the successful applicant: fully custom, the client will receive a blackwork, hand span sized original design.

We would like to hear from applicants who:
– Have an interest in transhumanism
– Are passionate about science and art
– Are enthusiastic about sharing their experience with press and social media
– Are over 18 years old
– Are based in Manchester or the North West of England
– Are willing to submit to the artists’s final say on the look of the design
– Are available to participate in You Have Been Upgraded on October 18th in Manchester
– Are available to attend 2x sessions at a Long Time Dead Tattoo Studio during the months of September-October.

We welcome applications from people of all shapes, sizes, skin colour and backgrounds. Given the subject matter, we are particularly keen to receive applications from disabled people.

The successful applicant will be contacted week of 24th September.

Please fill out the following form to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!
